quote · Legacy record
Full-leafed in pride of deepest green, The earth in the sunshine basks serene, Where linden blossoms crowded cling, A thousand bees are murmuring. As showers drift from the freshened land With a seven-barred bow is the rain-cloud spanned. The wild rose yields her subtlest scents Where hay cocks pitch their fragrant tents. The longest day's too brief for June, The night too short for such a moon!
